A lot of people have put down uber-popular names as cringe-worthy, but I'm wondering, when you hear them, are you cringing at the sound of the name itself, or cringing at the parent's choice to name their child something trendy and unimaginative?

Also, most Berries, myself included, dislike yooneek spellings and variations, but do different spellings actually count as separate names?

Anyway, I really detest boys' names on girls. Not unisex names, but BOYS' names, like James or Carter. Also, modern names that are so new that they are allowed to become unisex, like Greyson. Honestly, why would you name your DAUGHTER something with the word SON in it?

Some names that I just irrationally hate are:
Olive
Florence
Annabel- This spelling only, I like Annabelle
Aria/Ariana- This just sounds too airy to me, like it has no substance
Audrey
Mabel

And most names with 'w's or 'yn'. Although, on Toddlers and Tiaras when there was a little girl named Taralyn, I, the hater of trendy and made-up names, actually really liked it! Just the sound, though, not the spelling....

Although I don't mind some spelling tweaks (I think I'm in the minority on here with that), things like Braielleighnne are just outrageous. Anything "lyn" or especially "lee" (KINSLEY AHHH) also irks me. I find it extremely juvenile and can't picture them being said with anything other than a southern accent from a 17 year old. (no offense against the south, my family's all from Kentucky :P). But if you really want "lyn" or "lee" at then end of her name, do our ears a favor and just use it as a middle. Also hipster clunk names like "Agatha". Really, Agatha? Thisbe, Theodora, Florence, Eleanor (okay not too bad, but I only picture Eleanor Roosevelt), Ethel, Harriet, Margot? Listen to yourself. And Nevaeh... Please stop. Also anything with "mick" at the beginning. Mckenzie.. Mikayla.. Mcallister? And Ava!! I was watching a show once.. where they talk about new home decor/improvement stuff and they have real people/families use the product and talk about it. Two families on there both had little girls named Ava. Granted, it could be made up for the show.. but still. It's everywhere. Oh, and this doesn't have to do with any names in particular, but I hate very contrived nicknames like getting Timmy out of Chrysanthemum (please don't name your child Chrysanthemum either).

Haha anyway, I know it's all about personal choice. I have no right to butt in on what you name your child or how you raise them. And as I complain about these names, I know for a fact that a lot of people on here don't like my favorite names either, but meh .
